Listen we have to get better and the first step is cutting out the piece of shit idiots that don't care about WG, if they cared they would show up for practices that are MANDATORY. WTF. This is not hard to contemplate people who won't do what the authority tells them too are simply worthless and should be kicked for insubordination. People with the ranks are pussies about punishment for skipping events. -------------------- | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 IRC Nickname: Tnuac Group: Emeritus Posts: 1806 Member No.: 51 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 58 | Chill out mate, no need to get so worked up Practices would be good, but we need to know what we are practicing. Taking kcross's idea, we need a good teacher in order for these classes to work out, who can identify what needs improving the most. The reason we lost the last war was mostly the disadvantage we had of being ranged without knowing the rules properly. With more rangers we would have had a much better chance. Organisation is much better than it was years ago (with differnet people than today), especially fall-ins after kills. I think the main thing we need to practice is tanking, because people clearly had difficulty with it judging by the speed at which their KC went up. Maybe a practice with 2 teams (for the surprise element of piling), where everyone has just a rune scimmy and food? Should be a lot more beneficial. Now it needs someone to arrange it. -------------------- ~Aetas: carpe diem quam minimum credula postero~ "Seize the day and place no trust in tomorrow"  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Your being extremely shortsided if you think all we need to do is tank practice, there is so much more to warring than just TANKING. Tanking is the easiest thing in the world to do. -------------------- | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 IRC Nickname: [JC] Group: Emeritus Posts: 3320 Member No.: 23 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 147 | Though I agree to an extent that WG needs practice, there is one big issue with running them. Most people DO NOT want to 'waste' their time practicing, and whatever you do I am yet to see a successful way of making people do something that they desperately don't want to do. Sure warn levels & suspensions can be handed out to try and improve attendance, but it is almost inevitable that a nasty reaction will follow. As chimpy rightly points out, MORE wars can be just as good as practice, particularily if they're ones that WG has a good chance of winning (*hint Hint* Raid Leaders, get something easier?). Another Idea would be to get some war's against our allies now that we have 4. These used to be frequent events (both fun steel wars & CWA wars in full gear) yet they seem to have dropped as several of our allies activity in the wilderness has dropped as well. We now have a very active ally in the form of TS so why not try something along those lines with them? I do realise that CWA wars *aren't* quite the same as PvP, but anything is better than nothing, and if you think it is hard to get people to practice now..... Imagine if they were loosing 200k+ each event  --------------------  Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Whats your excuse for getting koed then? lol This is how it goes in importance Tanking > Binding > rest What you just said just totally ignores what i said, like i said before, once you know how to tank it takes very little to get back into it. Not once did i say all we need is to be able to tank in wars, nor did i once say that tanking practice is the only thing to do. Next time you reply to a perfecty good comment with that bullshit comment think about it. -------------------- | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 IRC Nickname: rachellove Group: Council Posts: 6955 Member No.: 173 Joined: January 31, 2008 Total Events Attended: 305 | We now have 4 raid leaders and a warlord. Our pvp is going to start picking up now. Practices are something that people will argue over. But as I see it, we all need practice and those that don't should be there as our examples to learn from. Just start training and know that your contributing to the clan by attending practice even if you think it is a waste of your time. It may be your waste, but someone else could be learning and that benefits the clan. This is something I had wrote a while ago but decided not to post.

 IRC Nickname: Mike|Sonix Group: Ex-Member Posts: 1483 Member No.: 13 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 103 | I used to play on a Counter-Strike team that took the game seriously. We knew we'd never be the best or even close to it, but to be a top 200 team in CS is really an accomplishment, and we achieved that (I think). How? We practiced. A lot. And if you missed a practice, it would be noticed. Multiple missed and you would be kicked out. I know its not the same in Runescape because the size of clans is much larger than a CS team. But think of how far we went just because we practiced. Not sure if this will stick with anyone, but CS has truly taught me that practice makes perfect. --------------------   | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Why practice? Why the hell not?
